How to tell if caloric surplus is sufficient?
Hi all,
So far on my NLP I've been basing my caloric intake on my average weight gain. Based on the idea
that 3500 calories of surplus consumed = one pound of mass gain, I reckoned that I should gain
about 900 g of body weight a week. I've gained well over that (1,2 to 1,5 kg a week),
so I think I'm eating enough. But I've failed to complete all sets and reps of several of my lifts now,
and before asking about other factors, I'd like to rule out the possibility of eating too little.
Do you think this method of estimating sufficient intake is reliable?
Thanks!
